i asked john boehner can we pass this through the house? there's a majority of votes in the house to get this passed and speaker boehner, i think, was sincere about wanting to pass it but had difficulty over the last year trying to get it done. when he told me he wouldn't call it up this year, what i indicated is i feel obliged to do everything i can lawfully with my executive authority to make sure that we don't keep on making the system worse but that whatever executive actions that i take will be replaced by action by congress. you send me a bill that i can sign and those executive actions go away. that's a commitment i made not just to the american people and to businesses and law enforcement folks and everybody who has looked at this issue and thinks we need immigration reform, that's a commitment that i also made to john boehner that i would act in the absence of action by congress. before the end of the year, we're going to take whatever lawful actions we can take that i believe will improve the functioning of our immigration system,

i agree with you about john boehner. i think actually post shutdown, everything from the ryan murray deal to the omnibus, he's led with a great deal of strength and a great deal of support. it's interesting to me. look, people are allowed to vote the way they think, but nobody came to the floor, nobody spoke in conference against the ryan murray bill or frankly against the omnibus. so i think he's actually leading on strength right now and that tells me we've perhaps had a more productive year than people might believe at this point. >> we'll see. we'll see. >> i know a couple of people you might want to beat, speaker. >> okay. we'll see. john boehner has been unable to get his caucus to do, except in rare instances, what he believed in my opinion was the right thing to do. i think he thought it was the wrong thing to do to shut down government. i think he thinks imsimilar good politics for republicans. he believes that the debt limit ought not to be put at risk. the shutdown occurred because of the deal on the debt limi

well, welcome to the world of john boehner and mitch mcconnell. in today's republican party, being the leader means being the pinata and the people with big sticks are fellow republicans. the tea party versus establishment is nothing n but tensions spilled over big time in the fight over the debt ceiling. could the government borrow more money to pay its bills, embarrassing and humiliating, ugly in some ways for boehne and mcconnell and yet at the end of the week some say the republicans are in better shape than ever. >> the republicans are in better shape because they are getting this fiscal fight behind them. the debt limit is extended until march of 2015, and you real have still an internal battle within the battle about expectations for divided government. the right, conservatives, they want concessions from the white house and democrats, but boehner and mcconnell, they live in political reality, and they say that's just not possible with the white house and senate democrats who don't want to negotiate. >> they avoid a land mine. the conclusio

rallied his core conservative members against john boehner, is why john boehner doesn't like him. for a time period, the republican establishment was so worried about donald trump that they were doing everything but embracing ted cruz which none of them wanted to do. one of the things that's changed is that since donald trump has gotten so close to the nomination they're dropping the notion that they have a like for ted cruz. >> trump continues to rail against clinton using the woman card, does this help or hurt, especially with carly fiorina b back in the mix? >> i'm not sure carly fiorina adds much. i think he was being deliberate knowing that people in california know her better. but donald trump's comments absolutely do not do hem any good. he tries to talk -- it is very similar to what we saw him do with his comments about mexicans earlier in the race. things that are not welcomed by mexican people or in this case women, that he claims that he's going to do well with those populations anyway. his unfavorable ratings with women are much, much worse than unfavorable ratings wit
